Family Tree, Lizzy’s Birthday & Me!
It’s been a few days since I’ve had a post here.. but then again, I had nothing to say…
But today, Colleen and I started researching our family trees. Colleen did this a few years ago, for a school project, but she still had a few holes to try and fill in.. She did some searching on a couple sites, www.ancestry.ca and www.familysearch.org. She instantly find connection upon connection.
So I thought that I’d give it a try.
I didn’t have quite as much luck. I made a quick phone call to my mother to get some basic details. I was in luck, because my grandfather had started doing a family tree search.. Once she finds the book he made up, I’ll have some more details. For now, she gave me a few names and a couple of birth dates to start with… I plugged in the info I had, and didn’t find anything I hadn’t just been told..
So I tried my father’s side of the family.. I know very little about it.. I wasn’t able to get a hold of my father for details either.. What I do know, is that the MacDonald side of my family can be traced back to Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia…
Aside from that, I’m finding my new hobby to be satisfying.. I’ve had a few inquiries about people wanting me to make growth charts.. I’m still working out the details of a couple other things that I’d like to make..
Elisabeth turned 6 years old yesterday… I can’t believe it! Her birthday party at Omega Gym turned out well.. the kids all seemed to have fun. Once I get the pics uploaded, I’ll add the link!
